John asks…
vaporizer and humidifier same thing also question about energy?
if they aren’t the same thing what are the pros and cons for each and which is best for my son’s bloody noses. Also i suffer from wht my Dr. calls chronic fatigue syndrom and says there is nothing i can really do about that except take vitimin c and drink orange juice but honestly i have been doing that for years and it does nothing for me so what cani do to have more energy and not be so tired all of the time and i dont want to take anything thats going to make me lose weight like an energy drink
my son is two and gets bloody noses pretty often i keep my heat low so its not so stuffy but thats not working i also put vasaline in his nose to keep it moisturized and the doctor wants to corterize it but i feel he is so young i really don’t want to put him through that
answers:
A vaporizer puts moisture into the air. When you have a cold and itis hard to breathe, a vaporizer with vicks in it helps you breathe. This with just plain water may help your son’s bloody noses. Maybe the air is too dry especially if you live in a cold climate and the heat is on all the time. It dries out your nose. A humidifier also adds moisture to the air but I don’t know if they are set up to add medicine when you have a cold.
As for your illness the energy drinks can be taken with a meal instead of tea or milk or what ever you usually drink with a meal. Don’t know if they would help your problem though. But here is a web site on CFS that may help you

Warm Mist Vaporizer or Humidifier?? with 5 year old and 19 month old?
Both my kids are sick they have chest congestion and a dry hacking cough, my 5 year old has a runny nose that is so runny her lip is raw under her nose and my son is wheezing with his breathing. We have been rubbing them with Vicks and we have the Vicks Waterless Vaporizer Pulg in but we are wanting to get either a warm mist vaporizer or humidifyer but I am not sure which one is the best or if we should continue to use the Waterless Vaporizer. We want to get something that will help them sleep better at night.
Please advise any information would help a ton!!
Thanks

With my kids – we used a humidifier because the air is so dry in the winter. But – mold can grow in those things if you don’t keep them clean which would be more harmful than good.
Good luck.

I would seriously contact ur family doctor.but it sounds like ur lil one has “croup” a seal barking sound.not that i’m a doctor but my now 6 yr old had that when he was 4 months old and it ended up turning into asthma when he got older.
